Rouyn-Noranda Huskies advance to Memorial Cup final

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — Felix Bibeau scored two third-period goals and the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies beat the Guelph Storm 6-4 on Friday night to set up a Memorial Cup final against the host Halifax Mooseheads.

Bibeau gave the Huskies a 4-3 lead from the slot 5:20 into the third with a shot goalie Anthony Popovich never saw, then added another from nearly the same spot to make it 5-3 with 7:27 to play.

The title game is Sunday night. Rouyn-Noranda beat Halifax in six games in the QMJHL championship series and topped the Mooseheads 4-3 on Wednesday night in the round-robin finale. Rouyn-Noranda, Guelph and Halifax were all 2-1 in the round robin, with Halifax getting a spot in the final on a tiebreaker. The Western Hockey League champion Prince Albert Raiders were 0-3.
